At the border: A call to action for health equity for children with leukemia

Abstract

The authors invite public health policy makers to be cognizant of the importance of where persons reside and consider focusing efforts to improve cancer outcomes in rural areas with concentrated poverty. They call for the attention of public health leaders and health care providers in both the United States and Mexico to mitigate the health disparities suffered by immigrants, a population that plays a vital role for the economies and social fabric of these two countries.
